Redirect to "Bob Barr"[edit]

This page, formerly a disambiguation page, was turned today into a redirect to Bob Barr. The thinking was that, now that he's the 2008 presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party, he represents the biggest usage for "Barr" (see here). I disagree with that, but does anyone else have an opinion? Korny O'Near (talk) 03:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think he does and it certainly shouldn't be done on a temporary basis. I looked in Google and he wasn't prominent, then taking a more US centric view I tried the New York Times. I've reverted the page back but added a link in, it's still probably too much but not way too much. The editor concerned may have a conflict of interest and certainly seems to be over-promoting the article they've worked on. Alex Sims (talk) 11:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for giving us a third opinion, Alex Sims. I'm OK with this resolution. -Noca2plus (talk) 20:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
